What follows is a strange tale, one of love, redemption, growth and healing. It's the story of what happens when you fall in love with an escort, perhaps the most forbidden love of all. It's a long story which has not been completely written yet but I provide it in hopes that others will not make the mistakes I have made. My first. I saw her here, read her reviews. She sounded wonderful. A warm and understanding woman who would make me feel like a man again, something I had not felt in a long time. Lets call her L so as not to embarrass her. I went to see her, not because I wanted to, but because I felt I had to. My marriage is pretty good in most ways but the lack of sex was killing me. Destroying my self confidence, making me doubt my self worth. I love my wife and want nothing more than to have a physical relationship with her but for 6 years or more, nothing I did seemed to make any difference. I've never been confident in my sexuality. I always thought I didn't have much to offer a woman in that way. I'm tall and fit and I'm told I'm handsome but in the bedroom, I always felt that I fell short. That and the fact that I put sex on a pedestal. Sex was important. Sex had meaning. Sex was not for fun, sex was for relationships and having sex with a woman meant you were with her now and you had to do everything in your power to make something more out of it. I've never cheated on a partner. In spite of having been with some jealous women who would accuse and suspect me, I've been faithful. Sure, I look when I see a beautiful lady pass by but I never stray. So what happens when you take a man with low self-esteem, commitment hangups, guilt, performance anxiety, a tendency to overthink everything and not a little OCD, and put him with a woman who rocks his world? Who pleases him and lets him please her. Who pulls the best out of him, a performance he never knew he was capable of? Maybe it's just a job for her, a script, an act that is designed to make him feel that way. But it doesn't feel that way. See, it wasn't just the sex. I connected with her. I felt a huge amount of chemistry. I liked her style, her personality. Her kindness and generosity. I liked everything about her. This is where it went wrong. Guilt, desire, conflicting emotions of lust and self-loathing set in. Is it wrong? It feels right. What does it mean to me? What am I doing with my life? I'm a ball of stress. I can't sleep. I email her, and text her. She's so nice to me, responding to my craziness. Perhaps I would have been better off if she had shut me down right away but I believe she is truly a wonderful person and tried to help me as best she could. Deep down, I knew that I was going off the rails. I've only known her for an hour and a few emails and phone calls. This obsession can't be healthy I thought. I should go see someone else. So I did. And it sucked. I mean, it was sex and all but there was no connection of our personalities. I didn't like or care about her. It was mechanical and I couldn't perform to the level that I had learned I was capable of. I felt terrible. A failure as a man once again. Don't get me wrong though. She's a very nice lady who was very professional and good at her job. We just didn't connect. So I went to see L again. She had mentioned she hadn't eaten so this time I brought flowers and some nice bagels to share. And again, it was a wonderful session but afterwards, I got the feeling that she wanted me gone. Maybe she was starting to worry about my attachment. Maybe I was starting to creep her out. So I left her to eat the food I had brought and went back to my growing obsession. But here's where it gets strange. I've always had a lot of female friends. I love talking to women and hanging out with them and suddenly, I stopped thinking about L as an object of sexual desire and more like a little sister. Someone I wanted to help move a sofa or fix her computer. That's it, I swore, I was done with providers. It's not right for me to pay these nice ladies to have sex with me. I wanted to be friends with L, transition from an SP-client relationship to a normal friendship. She was so cool, I just wanted to hang out with her. She rode a motorcycle like me. We had similar tastes in food and entertainment. We both love animals. So I asked her to go for lunch with me some time, to explore it. I'd even pay her social rate. No response. She was still corresponding with me but every time I brought up the subject of meeting in real life, ignored. Eventually, all my emails started dropping into a black hole. I know now that this is a huge no-no. It never happens. Providers don't want to be your friend. Even mentioning is a huge red flag. And I understand why. Guys are creepy and scary. Not all of us but enough of us. And some of us want to try to be your boyfriend. Your pimp. Take advantage. Get some for free. It's ugly and sad but there are a lot of predators out there and women need to use all their senses to protect themselves. Fast-forward to me finally flip-flopping on seeing providers yet again. "Why am I so afraid of this?", I asked myself. I hadn't slept in two weeks. I was a wreck. I need to understand what this is and what it all means to me. So I went to see someone else. I'm going to mention her name here because I think she might have saved my life and put me on the right track. She is, the lovely, the beautiful, the awesome Miss Cleocatra. She's gorgeous but that's not why I chose her. She struck me as smart, professional, savvy, someone who might be able to help figure out why I was so conflicted. We had a great session. It was fun and I think I did alright. Certainly I had a good time and I didn't feel ashamed of myself so that's something right? We didn't have that raw chemistry though. I liked her a lot. She's great fun and easy to talk to but it wasn't love at first sight or anything weird like that. She's wise though. And clever. I really wanted to learn more about her and the industry so I asked if I could book a social hour to ask her a bunch of questions about herself and other things. I suppose I should have just watched her youtube interview but I didn't know about that. ;-) She turned me down. She was polite but firm and wasn't interested in being interviewed or analyzed or talking about her business. We bounced a couple emails back and forth but what came out of it was one fundamental question that I think might change my life. "Why can't I stop over-thinking everything and just enjoy myself? Sex can just be for fun too." Wow. What a revelation. I'm sure it's obvious for most of you here but for a small town guy of conservative religious background with self-esteem issues, it's like a bolt from the blue. Suddenly it all made sense. Why I was clingy and needy. Why girls always dumped me. Why I sucked at relationships. This year has been different. I've started doing things away from my wife. Going to the gym, snowboarding. Doing the things I like to do instead of following her around everywhere. Taking care of myself and my appearance. Maybe she'll be more attracted to me as a strong independent man, maybe she won't. But it doesn't really matter anymore. This is for me. And I feel great. I feel confident and complete and whole in myself. And I owe it to some of the ladies on this site. So what about L? I feel terrible about how this went. Perhaps it meant nothing to her, perhaps I was just another clingy guy that she had to block emails from. Business as usual. But I'm not sure. I'm a good judge of people and I really don't think that what I felt was just because of my situation. I genuinely like her and I don't like a lot of people in this world. I feel like we could truly be friends but I accept that it will never happen. I really wish her the best and I'm so grateful that she helped me through this difficult journey. So maybe some day I'll be out riding and see a cute girl riding by on her sport bike. And I'll give her a wave. And maybe, just maybe, she'll wave back.

Are you trying to suggest that swallowing semen presents the same risk as bareback full service sex? Because if so, that is completely false and I suggest you look into actual sexual health facts before you just throw things out there like they are the truth. You can't just say that's "my two cents" about things that are not a matter of opinion.

Pretty much every day, I'll receive a few texts from numbers I've never seen before, just saying 'hi' or, 'hey'. I will never understand why these texts are sent. Most girls ignore them, to be honest. I occasionally will respond, saying 'Hello! If you'd like to see me, please introduce yourself and let me know what you're looking for, thanks!' other times I've said 'Hello! Who is this?', to get a response back with just a name. Like, Frank. Just Frank, nothing else. Not, Hello, this is Frank, wondering if you're available today?' I know sometimes a new client can be nervous with the first communciation. But please keep in mind, we are very happy to answer your questions, and if we accept texts (some girls state in their ads that they do not), then you are welcome to text us! But please, ask a question! Tell me what you're texting for. Because to just say 'Hi, then 'Frank', it's like pulling teeth. I'm not here to draw what you want out of you. You need to ask me, and then we can make an arrangement. I will admit, I sometimes can be a bit snarky in my responses to these texts. And i'm not a snarky person. But after the tenth 'Hey' or worse, 'hey babe', text I've received in a day, my patience may have hit it's limit. And I would hate for us not to get a chance to meet only because our texting didn't work out. Communication is key to a good encounter. Tell me who you are, and what it is you're looking for by contacting me. If you can't say more than a hello in a text, now how will we be able to talk in purrson silly!

Saw the strangest thing today. I was feeding cattle and happened to glance beside the tractor at an English sparrow that was acting weirdly. Turned out it was beside another sparrow that was lying still in the snow after presumably hitting the barn. The active bird was standing over it and using its' beak to repeatedly pull feathers on the downed bird's head and neck as if to get it to stand up. When that failed, the healthy bird spread it's wings and laid on top of the still one. For warmth.....protection.....I do not know, but when I returned less than 5 minutes later, they were both gone. It warmed my heart.

Actually I know a lot of younger providers prefer older clients as well... so I wouldn't worry too much about being too old for 20something providers. I'm open to clients of all ages personally. I only prefer respectful ones. Since I started doing milf movies however I don't get the much older gents and more of the younger ones are drawn my way. I've even had some young clients come to me to lose their virginity. This is a huge responsibility that I found daunting at first but am now comfortable with. I may not connect with them on an age level.. but I connect with them on a teacher/student level which can be quite fun. The main reason younger clients can be less mature in my opinion is that 1) some think they're doing us a favor by providing us with a younger body and providing what they think is a more appealing sexual encounter than what they think we'd find a wrinkly old body. They have no clue what we want but assume. 2) They have a much much higher amount of testosterone surging through their bodies which clouds their judgement 3) They have been getting away with their moms telling them how adorable they are and they're spoiled by them so they carry it with them everywhere else in life (I can't tell you how often myself and other ladies have been asked. 'I'm cute. Can I get a discount?' 4)They lack the experience that an older person does which has already been covered here. I should also mention that ladies I know that are actual mothers in real life (I'm not one) don't want to see someone that could be their child's age. It feels too weird to them

Very captivating! Honestly couldn't stop reading it.

most of the time they're pretty annoying, but you need them to get laid. Im ready to ROCK your world. My name is Crystal, one of my biggest pleasures in life is to please, so why not treat yourself and allow this sexy young babe take care of you. I offer amazing, non-rushed service that will have your mouth-watering. Soapy hot showers, a massage that will take away all your tensions, body slides you cant deny, i love to tease and to please. I can be an angel, or i can be your little devil. So what do you have to lose? your going to be coming back for more, and i cant wait to see you smile. Come play with me. :whipping: :dncdick:

19 day preemie heifer calf born an hour ago and it is blistering cold, so I put her beside a forced air heater and am thawing out colostrum. Decided to put a glove on and check her momma. Fml......another calf in there. I'll wait for momma to settle down and then deliver the second calf. It is going to be a short night after a long day with another day of -29 here tomorrow.

Tee hee! ;) One of the new purchases!

Well the day has arrived, early tomorrow off on another adventure, this time to New Zealand, Australia and Aubu Dhabi.

I do remember life and being in this business with no cerb and no sense of community in general. Yeah, it was sucky.lol. A special thanks to the Mod for creating such a great place to go to with no b.s. :)

For me, it depends on my partners approach. Rough, aggressive hands and behavior will immediate be stopped and my bottom will become off limits. Playful, sensual teasing attention will extend mileage and is thoroughly enjoyed! Even if I am asked up front about services by a new client, I am always hesitant to say yes because if they arrive with the wrong attitude it isn't going to happen. That goes for all services negotiated in advance when meeting an SP for the first time, not just ass play. Bite my clit and you'll never see my cookie up close and personal again, twist my nipples till they hurt without prior approval and you will get smacked, pull my hair, leave your hand imprint on my body anywhere without approval or fuck me so hard that I can't walk straight for a week and you'll be asked to leave and will never be invited back. But if you are someone I know and have developed a trust with, all these activities can be great fun. I have guests that I have no fear with because they have proven themselves to be trustworthy. The key is trust. Once you have it you may be pleasantly surprised at how much fun you can have with some of us... cat

Anything that makes me feel. Peaceful. love. soothed. joy, happiness. Hope. laughter. Those sounds can come from everywhere and no where. :) My favorite place to be? Is the feeling of being wrapped in your lovers arms and the rest of the world falls away..

So the idea here is that we're going to write an erotic story together. Here's the first paragraph, which needs to be finished and a new one started. OK? You've seen her often, and in a way you know what to expect, but you know too that it's always different. Her mood, her look that day, her perfume, how she will tease you, how she'll grip you, how she'll kiss.... She takes off her clothes, and sits on the bed. You kneel, and kiss her thighs. She opens, and you can't hold back. The softness, the warmth, the wetness as you enter her with your tongue, awesome. You keep going as she gets more and more excited, and

I know that our arrangment is as such that it is me that is here for you, an escape from your world to take you to a place of excitment and fantasy. Where you dont have to think. Where we can drown in a place of pleasure in togther. Or to seek comfort when your lonely, lost, stressed. I know that given our lives we cannot always be together when you want us to be. I understand that you have responsibilities that need to be attended to. Family, work. Please understand this for me as well. We live seperate lives. It is as it should be. I know this. I will always try to be here for you when you need me. Though its not always possible. I know it frustrates you sometimes when you are unable to reach me. Its frustrating for me as well. This double life we both lead sometimes makes meeting difficult. Be patient love, it will get better, easier. Sometimes I cannot share with you the reasons that keep me from you. That is also as it should be. In this illusion we've created unless we reach a level of trust. It does not allow me to tell you when Im hurting or sad or tired or ill. You do not come to see me for those things. You come to see me for my smile, the way my eyes light up when they search your face. You come to see me to feel my lips caress yours. To feel my hands exploring your body. To feel the gentleness of my touch. To share moments of time together to laugh, to love. To explore your dreams, your fanasies. I love being able to give that to you. To share that with you. I want to always give you the best of me. Anytime we speak. any time that we share that I am yours. If there is ever a time when I cannot give you the best of me. I will not. I do not want you to see me that way. I hope you understand. Do you realise how special it is what we share. The trust it takes in the other? The unspoken promises we've made without asking? To protect each other. To keep secrets in the moments we share. To keep each other safe. I know I trust you. I have to, to be able bring you to a place that even if its not mine. Its ours for that time. I trust you to be gentle with me and not cause me pain. You trust me to keep healthy and whole. It says alot about you, and about me to be able to do that. I's amazing xo I love that every time we see each other our connection grows, our trust grows. That the more we know each other. It just gets better and better. I dont know how to end this letter to you except to say. Until we meet or are able to meet again. I will be thinking about you. Always, Jade xoxo

I was in this aft for an hour or so. No Jenny...I spoke to the DJ and he said the same as Bridgette. No idea when she's due back. :-( I did see Claire, Rebecca, Courtney, & Sara. Sure wish our fav cerbitte, Bridgette was there to warm me up!! The lunch buffet, (now I'm talking food), was pretty dam good today Roast beef, ham, mashed taters, glazed carrots, rice pilaf, & various salads. Oh, and hot dogs for all the flat-bellies to munch on!! Stay warm everyone!

She left for her extended vacation maybe a week or so ago, so we're Jenny-less for the next few months. :(

You might not go for the 15 min. everytime but like Audrey said...between meetings...the fantasy of going for a quickie...like in the movies when the couple comes in the door & starts ripping each others clothes off & eating each other up like there's no tomorrow!!! SHIT....I'm going for a quickie!!!

I mean, I think it comes down to different strokes for different folks, really (pun definitely intended). I also prefer a longer session, but lots of people are looking for a quick lunch break or some stress relief, and if everyone involved in that encounter is happy with it, then I don't see it as a problem at all. Plus, i definitely see the allure of a quickie sometimes, and the fantasy of meeting someone sneakily between meetings or appointments for a quick and intense session of great sex seems really hot...

Happy Birthday to you, Peachka! Enjoy your day.

May you have a wonderful birthday Peachka Enjoy your day....

Happy Birthday ! Have an awesome day :)

Very interesting, honest and a story from deep down inside. Thx for sharing. You know.... we all, everyone, has moments when we feel like we are going off the tracks. Its natural, it hurts, but "most times" someone comes along and knowingly or unknowingly just helps us steer back in the right direction. Glad you found your "someone" to help and good luck !! Onward and upward and life is good :)

Thank you for sharing! Additional Comments: Thank you for sharing!

I love the way the world works,:) everything good, bad has a lesson, I truly believe that and that things/situations are given to you to help you change grow, evolve. I'd have to say it sounds like you llearned more than one lesson xoxo

Have a very happy birthday Peachka. :)

Have a very happy birthday!

That was really interesting to read. Happened to me as well that a client and I had feeling for each other. We had to stop seeing each other cause of that. But I totally understand your point. Thanks for sharing :-) xoxoxx Wish you all the best in 2013!

We will prevail!

The weather, -32 is NOT a temperature I enjoy.

A minor update from another thread: since this discussion happened, we now have a "thanks" button we can use, which does this:

Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream". It reminds me of my ex - I lived that album!

One thing the Delta has going for it is the location of the elevators. You don't need to even really enter the lobby proper to get to them. You can come and go with hardly a sole seeing you. It's been my favorite for trysts in the past. I've even been to a couple of fairly loud... "group" events in there that did not raise suspicion from the staff.

Well of course this is true. We have to remember that as hobbyists and SP's, we are just regular men and women too. And with age comes life experience, knowledge and wisdom. There is no escaping this. And it includes everything, especially intimacy and the human connection. While some younger people may have "old souls" and are intelligent, they still lack life experience. And while some older people may have life experience, they might not be as intelligent or socially adept. Those are exceptions, but to judge based on age is only natural, because as humans, we live and learn... and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is an integral part of the life journey, and rather than always fighting it, we should be accepting it more for what it is; a thing of beauty.

This! I want a session to be fun for both of us. So I'm constantly trying to read body language, get feedback on whether what I'm doing is working, etc. I want to know what a girl likes, what positions she prefers, how she likes my tongue to move. Eating pussy is an art...some girls like more gentle lapping, side to side, up and down. Some girls like me to suck on the clit, some like a firm tongue, some like gentle flicking, some want the clit to be the center of attention, some want the tongue to wander all over the world. A woman is like a musical instrument, each one similar but different. You can make beautiful sounds if you have the right technique but you have to learn how to play each one. I think that some girls maybe will act like everything you do is great which can make it more difficult...I definitely prefer a natural reaction. I want to feel the little signs...a slight tensing up, a little raising of the hips, a small intake of breath, nipples and clit hardening. This is how I learn what works for you. And maybe my tongue starts to wander a bit...towards the outside, the thigh...perhaps down... Does she open wider? Does she raise her legs a bit to give me access? I read and respond...teasing, touching. Gentle, firm. Never doing one thing for too long until you find the one thing...that one motion that is taking her past the point of control. Then you repeat, a little faster, a little firmer, using my hands to touch breast, thighs, butt. Pulling her to me, letting her feel my desire, letting her know I want her release, want to taste her cum in my mouth. Looking for the shudder, the shaking legs. Orgasms can be faked but I'm not sure that an observant and sensitive man can be fooled that easily. I love when a woman comes on my cock...that tightening that you feel. A good orgasm can feel like it's going to rip off my dick. Intense. Sure, you could do your kegels and try to fake that but why? I think men who don't care will never notice anything beyond the superficial display. So yes ladies, I'm probably going to try to work my way down but if I'm doing my job right, it should just feel like a natural part of the fun. I will treat your bottom like the beautiful delicate little flower that it is. Real life is not porn...you have to work up to these things.

First a trio of Canadian cliches... but I do really love them. I just came in from being outdoors (-20) so that's what made me think of the first one. 1. The crunchy squeaky sound of walking on snow when it's really cold. 2. The call of a loon at dusk or dawn. 3. A foghorn. 4. The sound of a clock ticking in an empty house. I don't think I really understand why I like this last one. The sound of a clock is always there, but you never notice it until the house is empty and quiet, usually late at night. It's a sound of solitude and almost loneliness but without the sadness that accompanies loneliness. It also reminds me of being a child when I visited older relatives who all had large/loud clocks so there's an element of nostalgia also.

I adjusted the tanks option so that EVERYONE can use it and it gives 25 rep points now as well. (It's nice to be thanked for info posted!)

The delta is what it is and you likely wont have much bother. The Rodd Charlottetown is old, small rooms The Rodd Royalty Inn and Suites has been fully renovated within the last 2 years but is on the edge of town other than that its your typical chain hotels and motels. You would do well to check travelocity and other discount sites if you're not in a loyalty program or cannot book through somone other than front desk.

At Port Elmsley about 15-20 from Smith Falls, the triple movies are great. Lots of steamy windows in the summer time :) http://www.portelmsleydrivein.com/

The way a lover whispers my name in my ear--or calls me something dirty ;) Thunderstorms A good beat!

I love the sound of someone breathing while they sleep and the silence that surrounds it. I love the sound of children playing outside. I love the sound of running in leave and thru dried grassy fields. I love the squeals, shrieks and giggles from tickling a baby... cat

The sound of the wind, on a quiet day in the lake. The rustle of tree, branches and leafs. A sweet moan of a lady enjoying herself... :D

The sound of thunder, the rolling waves in the ocean ( even better when it's with classical music) and a kitten's meow.

A baby laughing !! it will put a smile on you face every time no matter how you might feel.

We obviously haven't met! Couch time foreplay is one of my favorite parts of a visit. When that goes well, the rest of the playdate is fireworks.. cat

I thought I'd start a thread with some FYI's for the gentlemen...Ladies and gents alike, please add in some thoughts/experiences as well! 1. You cannot just jump right in and jam on. If you're scared to warm up the oven with your fingers (or a toy), forget about baking your bread in there. 2. Lube goes a long way. No, your spit is not enough. 3. I don't care if you're only 5 inches long, you also happen to be 4 inches wide! NOT GONNA HAPPEN! 4. You're right, I can't get pregnant that way. But I can come across an array of STDs and other infections. JIMMY UP! I know most of you will see the above info as "DUH, isn't all of that obvious?" It is not obvious to all. I've had to "educate" a number of people recently which is what inspired this thread. Many people seem very intrigued by the topic, but know nothing about it whatsoever. Hope we get a nice discussion going on here and we can all maybe learn a little something!

Hi Erin, you have 16211 reputation points and this gives you a reputation power of 47 (so every time you nominate someone or leave a positive comment to reward someone you give that person 47 points) the system only lets you give points to the same member You can only give 10 members reputation every 24 hours. Here are some other details of how it works... [--] Register Date Factor For every 30 days of membership users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. [--] Post Count Factor For every 50 posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. [--] Reputation Point Factor For every 5000 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. [--] Minimum Post Count You must have 25 posts before your reputation hits count on others [--] Minimum Reputation Count You must have 1500 reputation points before your reputation hits count on others [--] Daily Reputation Clicks Limit A user can only give 10 reputation points over each 24 hour period NOTE: Administrators are exempt from this limit. NOMINATED POSTS GET A BONUS 100 POINTS NOMINATED POST WINNERS GET 5000 POINTS SECOND PLACE GETS 2000 and THIRD GETS 1000 Hope that helps... the system is rather complex and it took a lot of work to find the right numbers for all the settings.
